Књига Исуса Навина 7
1 Али се огрешише синови Израиљеви о проклетињу, јер Ахан син Хармије сина Завдије сина Зариног од племена Јудиног, узе од проклетих ствари; зато се разгневи Господ на синове Израиљеве.
Yahweh had commanded that all the things [that they had captured in Jericho] should be [destroyed to show that they belong] to him. But there was a man from the tribe of Judah named Achan. He was the son of Carmi and grandson of Zabdi and great-grandson of Zerah. He disobeyed [what] Yahweh [had commanded] and took for himself some of those things. So Yahweh was very angry with the Israelis.
2 А Исус посла људе из Јерихона у Гај, који беше близу Вет-Авена с истока Ветиљу, и рече им говорећи: Идите и уходите земљу. И људи одоше и уходише Гај.
Joshua told some of his men to go from Jericho to Ai [town], which was east of Bethel [city] and near Beth-Aven [town]. He said to them, “Go to Ai and (spy out the area/see what the area is like).” So the men went.
3 И вративши се к Исусу рекоше му: Нека не иде сав народ; до две хиљаде људи или до три хиљаде људи нека иду, и освојиће Гај; немој мучити сав народ, јер их је мало.
When they returned to Joshua they said, “There are only a few people in Ai. So we do not need to send all of our soldiers to defeat them. Send 2.000 or 3,000 men to attack them. That will be enough.”
4 И оде их онамо из народа око три хиљаде људи; али побегоше од Гајана.
So about 3,000 Israeli men went [to attack Ai]. But the men of Ai defeated them badly.
5 И Гајани посекоше их до тридесет и шест људи; и гонише их од врата до Сиварима, и побише их на стрмени; и растопи се срце у народу, и поста као вода.
They killed about 36 Israelis and chased the rest of Israeli men from the city gate to the bottom of the hill. When the other Israelis saw that this had happened, they became very discouraged.
6 А Исус раздре хаљине своје и паде лицем на земљу пред ковчегом Господњим, и лежа до вечера, он и старешине Израиљеве, и посуше се прахом по глави.
Joshua and the other Israeli leaders tore their clothes [because they were very sad about being defeated]. They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the sacred chest. They stayed there until that evening. They also threw dirt on their heads [to show that they were very sad about what had happened].
7 И рече Исус: Јао! Господе Боже, зашто преведе овај народ преко Јордана да нас предаш у руке Аморејцима да нас побију? О, да хтесмо остати преко Јордана!
Then Joshua prayed and said, “Lord God, you brought us Israelis [safely] across the Jordan River. So why are you now allowing the Amor people-group to defeat us [RHQ]? [This would not have happened] if we had stayed on the other side of the Jordan River!
8 Јао! Господе, шта да кажем, кад је Израиљ обратио плећа пред непријатељима својим?
Lord, we Israelis have been defeated by our enemies, so I do not know what to say now [RHQ].
9 Чуће Хананеји и сви становници те земље, и слећи ће се око нас, и истребиће име наше са земље; и шта ћеш учинити од великог имена свог?
The Canaan people-group and all the other people who are living in this land will hear about this. Then they will surround us and kill all of us! Then what will you do (to defend your reputation [MTY]/to show that you are a powerful God)?”
10 А Господ рече Исусу: Устани: што си пао на лице своје?
But Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Stop lying there with your face on the ground [RHQ]!
11 Згрешио је Израиљ, и преступио завет мој који сам им заповедио: јер узеше од проклетих ствари, и украдоше, и затајише, и метнуше међу своје ствари.
You Israelis have sinned! You have disobeyed the commands that I told you to obey. [One of] your men has taken some of the things that I told you to destroy. He has stolen them and taken them for himself and lied [about it].
12 Зато неће моћи синови Израиљеви стајати пред непријатељима својим; плећа ће обраћати пред непријатељима својим, јер су под проклетством; нећу више бити с вама, ако не истребите између себе проклетињу.
That is why you Israelis have been unable to be strong when you went to attack your enemies. That is why you have run away from them. And now you yourselves may be destroyed. If you do not do as I commanded you and destroy everything [that you captured in Jericho] I will not help you any more!”
13 Устани, освештај народ, и реци: Освештајте се за сутра; јер овако вели Господ Бог Израиљев: Проклетство је усред тебе, Израиљу; нећеш моћи стајати пред непријатељима својим докле не уклоните проклетство између себе.
“Now go and tell this to the people: ‘Tomorrow you must [perform the rituals that will] cause yourselves to become acceptable to Yahweh again. Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says that one of you has kept things that he told you to destroy. You will never defeat your enemies until you get rid of those things.
14 Приступићете ујутру по племенима својим; и које племе обличи Господ оно ће приступити по породицама својим; и коју породицу обличи Господ она ће приступити по домовима својим; и који дом обличи Господ, приступиће људи из њега један по један.
‘Tomorrow morning you must present yourselves before Yahweh, tribe by tribe. Then Yahweh will indicate to which tribe [the man who took those things belongs]. Then Yahweh will indicate to which clan from that tribe [the guilty man belongs]. Then Yahweh will indicate to which family he belongs. And then he will indicate which person [in that family took those things].
15 Па ко се нађе у проклетству, нека се спали огњем и он и све његово, јер преступи завет Господњи и учини безакоње у Израиљу.
Then the one who has taken some of the things that should have been destroyed will be destroyed in a fire. And everything he owns will be destroyed with him, because he has disobeyed the command that Yahweh gave us and has done something that is disgraceful to us Israeli people.’”
16 И уставши Исус ујутру рано рече те приступи Израиљ по племенима својим; и обличи се племе Јудино.
Early the next morning, Joshua told all the Israeli people to stand before the Sacred Tent, tribe by tribe. [When they did that], Yahweh indicated that a man from the tribe of Judah [was the one who had taken the things].
17 Потом рече те приступише породице Јудине; и обличи се породица Зарина; потом рече те приступи породица Зарина, домаћин један по један, и обличи се Завдија.
Then the clans of Judah presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the clan of Zerah was the guilty one. Then the families of Zerah’s clan presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the family of Zabdi [was the guilty one].
18 И рече, те приступи његов дом, људи један по један, и обличи се Ахан син Хармије сина Завдије сина Зариног од племена Јудиног.
Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.
19 И рече Исус Ахану: Сине, хајде дај хвалу Господу Богу Израиљевом, и признај пред Њим, и кажи ми шта си учинио, немој тајити од мене.
Then Joshua said to Achan, “Son, tell the truth [IDM]. Confess to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship, what you have done]. And tell me what you did, and do not try to (conceal anything/prevent me from knowing what you did).”
20 А Ахан одговори Исусу и рече: Истина је, ја згреших Господу Богу Израиљевом, и учиних тако и тако:
Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
21 Видех у плену један леп плашт вавилонски, и двеста сикала сребра, и једну шипку злата од педесет сикала, па се полакомих и узех; и ено је закопано у земљу усред мог шатора, и сребро одоздо.
Among the things [in Jericho] that I saw was a beautiful coat from Babylonia. I also saw 200 pieces of silver and some gold that weighed as much as 50 pieces of silver. I wanted those things very much for myself, so I took them. I buried them all in the ground under my tent. You will find them there. The silver is buried under the other things.”
22 Тада Исус посла посланике, који отрчаше у шатор, и гле, беше закопано у шатору његовом, и одоздо сребро.
So Joshua sent some men [to find those things]. They ran to Achan’s tent and found all the things hidden there.
23 И узеше из шатора и донеше к Исусу и свим синовима Израиљевим, и метнуше пред Господа.
The men brought them all out of the tent and took them to Joshua and the rest of the Israeli people. Then they spread/laid them out on the ground, where Yahweh could see them.
24 Тада Исус и сав Израиљ узеше Ахана сина Зариног, и сребро и плашт и шипку злата, и синове његове и кћери његове, и волове његове и магарце његове, и овце његове, и шатор и све што беше његово, и изведоше у долину Ахор.
Then Joshua and the rest of the people led Achan down to the valley. They also took down there the silver, the coat, the gold, Achan’s [wife and] sons and daughters, and his cattle and donkeys and sheep, and his tent, and everything else that he owned.
25 И рече Исус: Што си нас смео? Господ да те смете данас! И засу га камењем сав Израиљ, и спалише све огњем засувши камењем.
Joshua said, “(I do not know why you caused so much trouble for us/You have caused a lot of trouble for us) [RHQ], but now Yahweh will cause trouble for you.” Then all the people threw stones at Achan and his family until they all died. Then the people burned their corpses.
26 По том набацаше на њ велику гомилу камења, која стоји и данас. И Господ се поврати од жестине гнева свог. Отуда се прозва оно место долина Ахор до данас.
They piled rocks over [the ashes of] their [corpses], and those rocks are still there. That is why that valley is called Trouble Valley. After that, Yahweh was no longer angry [with the Israeli people].
